If you’re like us, you have as many watches as you do sneakers. Ok, well maybe not that many, but we still have a decent variety based on what we’re wearing. We, of course, go with a more dressy bracelet-type watch when we’re heading to work (yawn), a wedding, or out on that special date. Sport the classic leather-strap watch when you’re dressing down or just hanging out, buzzing around town. Plus, with all the new smart watches out there your choices are really endless. If you’re looking to upgrade your wrist, but not sure what all this ‘mm’ means, click here and we’ll explain. In the meantime, we’ve rounded up some of the coolest casual and designer watches for men (so far) in 2018.

So What Does the “mm” Size on Your Watch Actually Mean?!

This is one of the most common questions people have when trying to buy a watch online. It can get super confusing because, well, you’re not able to try it on until you get it. For men’s watches, you’ll typically see size ranges anywhere from 37mm all the way up past 45mm. So what does the “mm” actually stand for? This is a simple one to answer. It’s the millimeters of the diameter of the watch or of the ‘case size’ as it’s also commonly referred to. Here’s the breakdown of watch sizes that you can use as a handy guide when trying to buy online:

37mm – 39mm is the average size for a mans watch. In comparison this can be viewed as a watch that’s on the smaller size, so to speak.

40mm – 44mm is more of a sport-sized watch for guys. It’s not overly ‘in your face’ big, but it definitely stands out more than the average watch.

45mm – 55mm+ is the diameter of an oversized/larger watch. We’ll toss this into the more XL category.

Overall choosing the right size watch is really based on what your actual preferences are.
